Absent River


Performace / Intervention
Uzanbazar Ghat, Guwahati, Assam
Performed by Mr. Ramu Chowdhury

The urban riverbanks of Guwahati are overflowing with temporary communities, who come to the regional capital in search of a better life. The Government remains evasive towards their existence, negating their visibility with beautification drives and infrastructure development along the riverbanks within the city. A blue man on a blue boat stands in front, challenging his invisibility in a silent protest.
